Summary: | This study was carried out with the main objectives of developing a micropropagation
system for Dianthus caryophyllus cv. Maldives and reducing hyperhydricity for
healthy shoot production. The development of a micropropagation system included
selection of explant and combination-concentration of growth regulators,
optimization, multiplication of shoots, rooting and acclimatization. Hyperhydricity
study included selection of types of closure and gelling agents, application of
ventilated culture vessel, multiplication of recovered shoots and acclimatization of
recovered plantlets. The experiment was factorial arranged in a randomized complete
block design with four replications. Each treatment consisted of twelve explants per
replicate.
In axillary proliferation of shoots using two types of explant and five combinationconcentrations
of growth regulators, node explant placed on MS medium containing
1.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA was the most suitable combination in stimulating high axillary shoot production with low rate of hyperhydricity. Lowering the
concentration of NAA from 0.1 mg/L to 0.05 mg/L in combination with 1.0 mg/L BA
in the optimization experiment improved axillary shoot production from 4.9 to 5.6
shoots per explant and reduced hyperhydricity to less than 30%.
In adventitious shoot formation from three explants placed on five concentrations of
BA and NAA, the first young and fully developed leaves placed on MS medium
supplemented with 0.1 mg/L BA and 0.01 mg/L NAA was the most suitable
combination in inducing high adventitious shoot formation (43.3%) with lower
hyperhydricity (60.0%) compared to other combinations tested.
MS medium containing 1.0 mg/L BA with 0.05 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L BA with
0.1 mg/L NAA were the most appropriate media in inducing high shoot
multiplication, whereas MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L BA with 0.02 mg/L
NAA and 0.1 mg/L BA with 0.01 mg/L NAA were most suitable in producing good
quality shoots for rooting. High production of good quality shoots were produced only
after the first subculture and reduced in the subsequent subcultures. |
